#StackBounty: #github-pages How to create simple 2-page site using 2 markdown files in github pages?

Bounty: 50

I am trying to make a very simple site in github pages that will only have two pages: a homepage and an about page.

I would like each of these pages to be generated from markdown files.

The homepage is easy, I just put the homepage markdown in README.md and it shows up at myusername.github.io

Is there a simple way to add a second markdown page?

I understand github pages uses jekyll and I can do this by creating an entire jekyll blog, but that seems like overkill for what I want to do. What’s the simplest way to add a markdown file to the github repo and have a working url to a rendering of it.
